Problem

Given two positive integers $N$ and $M$, let $S$ denote the set of all the arrays of size $N$ such that each element of the array lies in the range $[1, M]$. Since there are $M^N$ such arrays, the size of $S$ is $M^N$.

Let $X_i$ denote the bitwise AND of all elements of the $i^{th}$ array in the set, where $1 \le i \le M^N$.
Find the value $\sum_{i = 1}^{M^N} X_i$. Since the answer can be huge, output the answer modulo $998244353$.

Input Format

• The first line of input will contain a single integer $T$, denoting the number of test cases.
• The first and only line of each test case contains two integers $N$ and $M$, the size of the array, and the maximum limit of elements.

Output Format

For each test case, print the value $\sum_{i = 1}^{M^N} X_i$. Since the answer can be huge, output the answer modulo $998244353$.

Explanation:

Test case $1$: The set $S$ contains $\{[1,1], [1,2], [2,1], [2,2]\}$. The array $X = [1\& 1, 1\& 2, 2\& 1, 2\& 2] = [1, 0, 0, 2]$. Thus, sum of all elements of $X$ is $1+0+0+2 = 3$.

Test case $2$: The set $S$ contains $\{[1,1], [1,2], [1,3], [2,1], [2,2], [2,3], [3,1], [3,2], [3,3]\}$. The array $X = [1\& 1, 1\& 2, 1\& 3, 2\& 1, 2\& 2, 2\& 3, 3\& 1, 3\& 2, 3\& 3] = [1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3]$. Thus, sum of all elements of $X$ is $12$.
